From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, 22 June '17:
"Kashane was resting during the afternoon heat before hearing audio of a herd of impala nearby. Soon thereafter, he was seen attempting to stalk these impala but his cover was blown by a Spotted Hyena and was left seen staring down what could of been a potential meal within a large open area."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, 26 June '17:
"Late yesterday morning, a male cheetah was found scanning an open area from a termite mound, then next a fallen over Marula tree for a better view on a herd of impala nearby. Over a while he attempted a hunt and was successful in bringing down a sub-adult male impala. After dragging the kill to the closest shade, the Kashane male, dominant in this part of the reserve, made an appearance due to the noise from the rest of the impala herd and chased the cheetah off its kill and dragged it a further 400m to the closest thicket along the Umlechwaan drainage line."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #290 by Callum Gowar:
"The regal Piva male leopard walks toward our vehicle as beautiful morning light illuminates his golden coat. On this particular morning we watched him patiently stake out a warthog burrow, only to miss an ideal opportunity as three of its inhabitants emerged from their burrow."  *This image is copyright of its original author

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"After spotting his tracks in the southern sections of the reserve and eventually finding him in the northern section, Kashane lived up to the meaning of his name and showed us why he had been given the name – a Shangaan word for “far”."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Mvula, the most patient leopard I have ever met!  *This image is copyright of its original author
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The White Dam male was found yesterday with the Little Bush female who was actively pursuing him. This got really interesting when the male responded to the rasping calls of his mother, the White Dam female. The three leopards all joined up, with the White Dam female leading her son away from Little Bush who was not best pleased."  *This image is copyright of its original author
From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #291 by Don Heyneke:
"A wonderful way to end off the week! After hours of tracking, the cool late afternoon of winter allowed us to stumble across the Flat Rock male beginning his evening patrol as the sun was setting."  *This image is copyright of its original author
